Glad you raised that one. I barely got started reading the interview and I already have questions. For example, can you steer me towards the NICE clinical guidelines for 'ill'? I seem to be struggling to find them.

My query was tongue-in-cheek. We both know no such guidelines exist, but perhaps someone should tell that to Dr Cusack, because he pointedly fails to answer the very first meaningful question put to him - twice. And now it's a question to which I want to know the answer. >>

Q What was the GP's presumptive diagnosis? A The Adcock's took Jack to his GP who instantly recognised he was *ILL* Q What was his diagnosis? Did the GP suspect sepsis? A He recognised Jack was *ILL* No recognisable presumed diagnosis in there I can see. Just ill, apparently >>

That’s how most people arrive acutely in hospital - ill with no clear diagnosis and then Doctors have to work out which of the 1000s of diagnoses in the World Health Organisation book is/are active in this patient. That’s the challenge of Doctoring in acute care

Totally understand that. But the question remains - did the GP flag up any suspicions of sepsis? It's entirely possible he may not have done so and therefore I'm fishing in the wrong pond here. But if he did, I don't think it helps BG's cause. I'd like to know which it is now.
